Purely professional experience. The sign-in and waiting process was friendly, efficient and clearly explained. When taken to the preparation room, I was given a specific and clearly understandable explanation of my procedure. Before they put in the IV containing propanalol (which put me out easily and left me with no hangover), I met with the doctor, who repeated the information regarding my procedure and asked if I had any questions. After I woke up, the follow-up discussion with my doctor was clear, reassuring and concise. I left feeling secure that I'd had exceptional care. I highly recommend.
